Following its appointment as the exclusive dealer for Grove cranes in Hungary, Axial Ltd. has invested in a comprehensive training and certification program for its lead engineer, József Bodnár. The program took place at the Manitowoc facility in Wilhelmshaven, Germany where the company’s range of Grove GMK cranes are built. The certified ‘GMK Technician’ training was administered by Manitowoc Crane Care and following his induction Bodnár will now deliver training to a further four Axial field technicians. Together with its investment in a sizable stock of Grove spare parts, Axial is now well-positioned to offer full Manitowoc Crane Care support to Grove GMK cranes throughout Hungary.
